Enormous undertaking

This is a detail of the Kantha stitching from the previous post. I made it as a sample for my surface design final. The reds were all clamp dyed, the blues clamp-dyed and discharged, and I have a nice piece of rust-stained cotton ready to go. In class today I pinned all 3 pieces up on the wall to get some perspective and decide on scale. I've been persuaded to really make it a wall. This will be a huge project to finish in the next 3 weeks. Lord help me. The final dimensions will probably be about 4 ft square!
